America Central y el Caribe

September–October

Understanding where we come from is the best way to know where we are today. When we remember our ancestors and review their history, we are recovering parts of our identity.

Our cities keep an immense treasure, full of anecdotes and urban experiences. That is why they seek to reactivate their old helmets, revitalizing their emblematic buildings. Old structures in bad state of conservation, are recovered, adapting them to current uses.
